Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt has been suspended by the NFL for one game, SN correspondent Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.

Britt will miss the regular-season opener against the New England Patriots in Nashville on Sept. 9. Considering it comes on the heels of Britt's latest of eight arrests during his time in the league -- for suspicion of DUI in July -- it's a rather mild punishment for violating the personal conduct policy.

There already were doubts about Britt's availability for Week 1 and beyond based on concerns with his knees. He's on the road back from tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee last September, and he also had a procedure on his left knee this offseason.

Because of his recovery timetable, the Titans had placed him on the physically unable to perform list, but he came off PUP on Wednesday. Still, it was uncertain how healthy and effective Britt would have been if available to play for his team.

The Titans will need plenty of firepower to stay with high-flying New England, and even with speedsters such as Chris Johnson and rookie Kendall Wright, it's unlikely second-year quarterback Jake Locker will be able to keep up with Tom Brady in a shootout.
